Trusted by Westborough property owners for tree removal, careful pruning, stump grinding & complete plant health care throughout Massachusetts.
Every tree service you need, delivered by trained arborists who know the Westborough area.
Professional tree pest control using IPM principles. We identify the pest, choose the most targeted treatment method, and protect non-target pollinators wherever possible — effective and responsible.
Complete storm cleanup from broken limbs to whole-tree removals. We work fast after weather events to clear hazards, haul wood and debris, and leave your property safe and accessible again.
Round-the-clock emergency tree service for any tree crisis. We respond at all hours with the equipment and arborist expertise to handle the most dangerous tree situations safely and efficiently.
Specialized takedown of dead trees that have become brittle and unpredictable. We use crane assistance and advanced rigging because deadwood does not behave like live wood under load — safety-first work.
Professional stump removal by grinding. We bring the right-sized grinder for the access (handheld for tight spots, track-mounted for big stumps), grind the stump and surface roots, and rake the chips smooth.
Careful removal of dangerous trees that threaten your property or your family safety. Our crews use crane support, controlled rigging, and ANSI Z133 safety standards on every hazardous tree job.
Skilled trimming work that balances appearance with tree health. Our arborists know which branches to remove for clearance and which to leave for canopy structure — every cut is intentional.
Custom tree fertilization programs based on soil testing and species needs. Our arborists prescribe and apply slow-release nutrients via deep-root injection — restoring vigor that surface feeding cannot match.
Arborist consulting for property owners, attorneys, HOAs, and developers. Detailed written reports backed by ISA training and decades of arborist experience — the documentation you need, when you need it.
Professional tree installation by arborists who know what they are doing — proper depth, mulch ring, watering instructions, and species selection that matches your soil, sun, and space.
Safe, professional removal of unwanted, oversized, or dying trees. Our certified arborists assess each tree, plan the rigging carefully, and bring it down in controlled sections without damaging structures or landscaping.
Acreage clearing for new construction, agricultural conversion, view corridors, and fire-break creation. Our heavy-equipment crews drop, chip, and haul efficiently at competitive per-acre pricing.
Tree planing service for property owners who want refined silhouettes without compromising tree structure. We make selective cuts that improve appearance and preserve the tree long-term health.
Professional crown reduction that brings the canopy down proportionally while preserving tree structure. We use proper reduction cuts to lateral branches the tree can recover from, never harmful topping.
Skilled crown thinning by ISA-trained arborists. We reduce canopy density carefully and selectively, removing weak and crossing branches while preserving the structural framework of the tree.
Professional tree disease management based on accurate diagnosis. Our arborists identify the pathogen, prescribe a treatment plan grounded in disease biology, and follow up to confirm response.
Targeted removal of dead, dying, and broken branches throughout the canopy. Eliminates falling-limb hazards, reduces disease pathways, and improves overall tree health and appearance.
Professional tree transplanting that maximizes establishment success. Our crews assess the tree, plan the move, and handle the lift, transport, and replanting with the care a heritage tree deserves.
Professional cabling and bracing for valuable trees with structural weaknesses. We use rust-resistant cable, proper hardware, and ANSI A300 installation methods to give your tree decades more life.
Full root-ball stump removal for new construction, foundation clearance, or anywhere the entire root mass must come out. We excavate the stump completely, back-fill, and grade the area.
Professional pruning that improves tree health, structure, and longevity. We selectively remove problem branches, reduce wind sail where appropriate, and leave the tree balanced and ready to thrive for years.
Shrub and hedge trimming by crews who understand which plants tolerate hard pruning and which need a gentle touch. Formal lines on hedges, natural shape on shrubs — clean results either way.
Westborough property owners count on professional tree crews because the alternative — a friend with a chainsaw — is how serious accidents and lawsuits happen. With 23,187 residents and a full range of mature trees, B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides the equipment, rigging skills, and arborist training that Westborough tree work actually requires. Every crew leader is fully insured, fully equipped, and fully responsible.
Modern arborist science is built on rigging math, ANSI A300 pruning cuts, and ANSI Z133 safety standards. Our MA crews follow all three on every job, deploying the right combination of bucket trucks, climbing gear, and ground equipment for the specific tree and site. That science-based approach saves Westborough property owners money and keeps everyone safe.
We are committed to careful tree work that protects your property, your trees, and your investment.
Our arborists live in the regions they serve. They know the local tree species, the soil conditions, the disease pressures, and the seasonal patterns that affect tree health in your area.
We carry on a tree care tradition rooted in Lombard, Illinois that began in 1940 — bringing decades of arborist knowledge and old-school workmanship to every job we touch.
Storms, fallen trees, and trees on houses do not wait for business hours and neither do we. Our emergency crews respond around the clock — holidays, weekends, and middle of the night.
Bucket trucks, cranes, climbing gear, rigging blocks, and stump grinders sized for the job. We bring the right equipment to do the work safely and efficiently — never overkill, never under-spec.
Standard service includes hauling all branches and brush, chipping the small wood, raking the work area, and leaving your property cleaner than we found it. No surprise debris-removal fees.
Have questions about tree care in Westborough? We have answers.
Yes. B. Haney and Sons Arborists provides tree planting throughout Westborough, MA and we are happy to recommend species that will thrive on your specific site — soil type, sun exposure, mature size, and disease resistance all matter. We do not just plant whatever the customer asks for if we know the species will fail. The right tree in the right place is the foundation of every healthy Westborough landscape.
Yes. Standard B. Haney and Sons Arborists tree work in Westborough includes hauling the limbs and brush off the property, chipping the small wood, and grinding the stump if requested. Larger trunk wood is cut to manageable lengths and either hauled away or left as firewood at your direction — your choice, no extra charge either way. We rake and clean the work site so it looks better than when we arrived.
For most species in Westborough, late winter through early spring (while trees are dormant and before bud break) is the ideal pruning window — wounds heal cleanly and disease pressure is lowest. Oaks should not be pruned during the spring-summer oak wilt risk period. Storm damage and hazardous limbs can be addressed any time of year. We tailor pruning timing to each species at your Westborough property.
The stump can stay in Westborough if you do not mind it visually and you are not replanting in that exact spot. However, stumps attract carpenter ants and termites, become tripping hazards, interfere with mowing, and may sprout new growth. Stump grinding takes the stump 6 to 12 inches below grade — fast and inexpensive. Full stump removal extracts the root ball — slower and more expensive but sometimes necessary for new construction in Westborough.
Absolutely. Tree work is high-risk by nature, and any contractor cutting trees on your Westborough property should carry general liability insurance and workers compensation coverage. B. Haney and Sons Arborists maintains both, and we will provide certificates of insurance on request before starting work. Hiring uninsured tree cutters is one of the most common ways Westborough property owners end up with serious financial liability.
In most Massachusetts jurisdictions, Westborough property owners have the legal right to trim neighbor branches that cross the property line, but only up to the property line and only without damaging the tree health. We always recommend a friendly conversation with the neighbor first and proper documentation. B. Haney and Sons Arborists can perform the work and provide written records — but the legal questions belong with you, not us.
Real reviews from property owners we have served across the country.
"Called for emergency tree service after a big limb came down on our shed. Crew was here within three hours, removed the limb, cleaned up all the debris, and did not even charge us extra for the after-hours call. That is integrity right there."
"Hired B. Haney and Sons for two big oak removals in our backyard. The crew showed up on time, dropped both trees in tight quarters without a single scrape on the fence, and ground the stumps clean. You can tell this is a company with real tree-care tradition behind it."
"Hired Haney for a complete plant health care program — fertilization, pest treatment, and seasonal pruning. Our trees have responded beautifully. The fact that this company has been in tree care for over 80 years gave me confidence they would do it right, and they did."
